Our story

Built to bridge the gap between the classroom and the career.

Academic curriculum in India leans heavily on theory and often trails real industry practice by years. Students graduate knowing the definitions, but not how a portfolio is actually built, how a company is valued, or how a trade is placed.

LeapUp Edutech was founded by finance practitioners and educators to change that. We build application-first learning programmes that give students the exact skills they need to break into the careers they want: capital markets, equity research, corporate finance and beyond.

Today, as a CFA Institute Prep Provider, we coach thousands of CFA® candidates through live and recorded batches, run classroom centres in three cities, deliver NEP-aligned courses to colleges across the country, and help students go from campus to corporate. Every programme is taught by CAs, CFA charterholders and market professionals, people who have done the work before they teach it.

“
Understand the concept, then apply it. That’s the only way finance ever really sticks.

Our founders’ note

Bridging the gap between education and industry.

When we started LeapUp, our mission was simple: bridge the gap between college education and industry expectations. Over the years, we have interacted with thousands of students, faculty and recruiters, and the message has been clear. Degrees alone are not enough. What truly sets students apart are skills, certifications and mindset.

So we built LeapUp as a carefully designed ecosystem where real learning meets real outcomes. We don’t just teach; we mentor, guide and empower, bringing not just content but context to every class. If you’re a student wondering, “Will I be job-ready?”, this is your answer. If you’re a college asking, “How do we implement NEP 2020 meaningfully?”, we’re your partner.
